Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
75 carbon pricing instruments are in operation today, with new initiatives in Australia, Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico and Taiwan, China (World Bank, 2024).
7% of global emissions were covered by carbon pricing a decade ago; today it is almost a quarter (World Bank, 2024).
3% of the world's territory is occupied by cities, but they consume up to 80% of energy and generate 75% of carbon emissions (UN, 2023).
More than 60% of the Honduran road network is exposed to natural hazards, mainly floods and landslides, affecting rural connectivity and accessibility (World Bank, 2023).
31% represents the increase experienced by flows destined for environmental protection during the decade between 2011 and 2021 in LAC (ECLAC. et al, 2024).
15.1 Gt is the total carbon storage in Mexico, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
65.33 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
187.3 MtCO₂e/year was the greenhouse gas emission associated with Mexico's forests, while between 2001 and 2022 they removed 216 MtCO₂e/year, resulting in a net carbon capture of -129 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
11.20 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
64.11 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Guatemala as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
